What I'm Reading

Pamela Tracy here. My family and I are just finishing vacation. I'm counting the hours until I open the front door of my house because there's no place like home. I thought I'd share my journey via books.

Leaving Scottsdale, all the way through New Mexico, and into Colorado: FireBrand by Susanna Kearsley (awesome book; I give it a 10)

Colorado, Wyoming, and into South Dakota: All God's Creatures by Carolyn McSparron (Honestly, it reads like a memoir. How Carolyn made fiction read like fact is beyond me. I'm mesmorized. Another 10 and I wish there were a sequel.)

Iowa and Nebraska: The third Jim Butcher book. It's on my Kindle and because I don't see the cover page but once, I can't remember the name. (I loved his first two and am thrilled there's a bunch for me to read)

Nebraska and back through Colorado: A new cozy mystery called Woof at the Door.

Colorado and back through New Mexico: Dying to Read by Lorena McCourtney (I fell in love with her Ivy Malone mysteries. They were like Mrs. Pollifax. This is her new series).

Back in Arizona: An Irish Country Doctor

I never, never get to read this much. I loved it. My husband and son think I'm nuts.

I just finished a great book by Marilyn Pappano--gosh can't remember the name. And a neighbor up the street writes mysteries. I just read his second book, Sonora Crossing. Good writing, but typical adventure mystery he killed off a character I had bonded with. However, his ongoing female protagonist was falling for him, so since she goes in a new direction for the next book, he's gone. I just got my July Heartwarmings in the mail, so they're up next. Can't decide which book to start reading first. Glad you're home safe and sound.

Didn't they make one of Marilyn's books into a movie? A Christmas one. Yeah, about getting the July Heartwarmings in the mail. Let me know when you get August. I'm so excited about seeing Katie's Rescue in print.

Pamela - Your trip sounds wonderful! Because I have a writing class this weekend (and I threw away all my notes and tapes I'd made for myself when I was cleaning my office because who ever thought my career would be revived?!) so the floor of my office is piled with all the Writer's Digest books on plot, character, setting, etc., Dixon's GMC, How to Write Shapely Fiction, and Stephen King's Stephen King on Writing. Ron's reading Bernard Cornwell.
